The Penthouse Collection at Nobu Residences Toronto

The recently launched Penthouse Collection at Nobu Residences Toronto, has been greeted with much anticipation and success following the initial opening of the dynamic project featuring the first Nobu branded highrise residences, and Canada’s first Nobu Hotel and Nobu Restaurant.

The Nobu Penthouse Collection will reside in the top five floors of the east tower, with breathtaking city and lake views. Purchasers can select from a variety of three-bedroom layouts, ranging in size from 856 to 1,500 square feet.

“The anticipation Torontonians have for Nobu Residences Toronto is very exciting,” said Josh Zagdanski, vice president – highrise, Madison Group. “Since pre-construction sales began, inquiries about the Nobu Penthouses have been non-stop. Anyone who has experienced the Nobu lifestyle knows that these residences will be very special, and we are thrilled to unveil them.”

Residents will have access to the fabulous amenities, including outdoor Nobu Terrace and Nobu Fitness Centre which are connected by a two-storey glass atrium that is anchored by a reflective water feature surrounded by state-of-the-art fitness equipment. Other amenities include a yoga studio, spin studio, wet steam, dry sauna, hot tub and cold plunge and a private massage room.

In keeping with the Nobu Lifestyle, there are private Nobu Villas which are an extension of one’s living space and are designed to entertain your guests in lounge areas with fireplaces, large screen TVs, billiards tables and are connected to the chic outdoor terrace, featuring barbecue prep decks.

Nobu Residences will also feature a private screening room, conference room and a private dining area with chef’s table. Other conveniences include a bicycle elevator with direct access to bicycle storage and a dog spa located in both the east and west residential lobbies.

“For many years we have searched for the perfect opportunity within Toronto to create a true luxury lifestyle destination befitting the acclaimed global city of Toronto and our international brand,” said Trevor Horwell, CEO Nobu Hospitality. “We are truly excited to announce Nobu Residences, Hotel and Restaurant Toronto which we are crafting to be a game changer in residential living in Toronto and beyond.”

Grand Opening continues at Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering

Located on the southern end of Liverpool Road, steps away from the waterfront, Madison Group’s latest community Frenchman’s Bay will bring a fresh and bold vibe to the established, family-friendly neighbourhood with a collection of sophisticated, contemporary townhomes and single detached homes.

With the GO Transit train offering a short 37-minute commute from Pickering to Union Station, and a four-minute walk to the lake, Frenchman’s Bay is set to attract the Toronto professional looking for affordable lakeside living with all of the area’s conveniences, including quick access Highway 401, great restaurants and shops in Nautical Village along Liverpool Road.

During the Grand Opening, Frenchman’s Bay will offer a modern collection of single-detached, two-storey homes of approximately 2,700 square feet with double-car garages, four bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms and ample room for families to cook, live and relax in style. The spacious interiors feature nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, smooth ceilings throughout and beautifully appointed kitchens with a choice of quartz or granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry and a spa-like master ensuite with a free-standing tub. Single detached purchasers will be able to further customize their new home at the Madison Decor Studio with a generous Grand Opening bonus offer.

The townhome collection ranges from 1,910 to 2,215 square feet and will offer private single-car garages at grade, generous three- or four-bedroom floorplans on three levels, plus a basement. The interiors include designer selected natural oak engineered flooring throughout the second floor and smooth ceilings on both the first and second levels. The carefully appointed kitchens include a wide range of kitchen cabinet choices and a great selection of granite or quartz countertops. As a special Grand Opening bonus feature, all townhome purchasers can take advantage of a stainless steel kitchen appliance package that includes a slide-in stove, a dishwasher, an over the range microwave and an impressive French door refrigerator.

Pickering’s City Hall, Main Central Library and Recreation Complex are just a short drive away, offering amenities and enriching programs for the whole family. Located near Highway 401 is Pickering Town Centre, an approximately one-million-square-foot regional shopping centre with over 200 retailers, restaurants and services.

Frenchman’s Bay offers a superb range of natural, recreational, heritage, arts and cultural attractions for residents and visitors. It is the spectacular natural landscape and abounding recreational opportunities that make Frenchman’s Bay a coastal haven for outdoor enthusiasts. You cannot miss Frenchman’s Bay Marina and the significant presence of boating and sailing activity in the surrounding waters during the summer months. To the southeast is Beachfront Park with its elevated boardwalk and beautiful views across Lake Ontario. If you’re in the mood to exercise or explore, then head into the Waterfront Trail system that encircles Frenchman’s Bay and runs east and west alongside the Lake’s shoreline. Three major trails – perfect for cycling, running or walking – traverse protected wetlands and woodlots, bluffs, beaches and expansive conservation areas.

“It is no surprise that homebuyers seeking modern living, with easy access to Toronto and the lakefront have responded with great enthusiasm,” said David Singer, Madison’s project director, lowrise.

The celebration was hosted by Cailey Stollery, CEO, Lindsay Stollery Jephcott CIO of Angus Glen and Kylemore Group of Companies, and Kylemore vice-president Frank Spaziani.
“We truly appreciate the loyalty, support and contribution of our tradespeople, suppliers and consultants that together make a Kylemore home among the best and most desirable in the GTA,” says Spaziani. “We have some exciting major new communities coming in 2019 and 2020, and with the continued dedication of our staff and suppliers we’ll bring these to fruition.”

There’s still time to join Kylemore in lifting someone’s spirits this holiday season, with the purchase of a plush Teddy Bear, soft sleep sack for a newborn, or a warm blanket for a patient. Learn more at lifesavinggifts.ca or call 905.472.7059.

Partnering with Madison Group, distinguished developers of lowrise and highrise residential projects across the GTA for over three generations, the hallmarks of Nobu’s luxury and style will be transposed into exclusive condominium residences on Mercer Street in downtown Toronto’s Entertainment District. With ground-breaking architecture envisioned by Teeple Architects, stunning bronze twin towers overlaid with a black metal lattice will rise 45-storeys high atop a classical brick-clad podium and Art Deco elements preserved from the original Pilkington Glass Factory that once stood on Mercer Street in the 1900’s. Nobu Residences Toronto will feature 660 condominium suites and superb amenities in finely appointed detail curated by renowned interior design firm, Studio Munge.

“With every new hotel we open, I have another place to unwind. With the development of Nobu Residences Toronto, I have found a new place to call home”.— Chef Nobu Matsuhisa

With the overwhelming success of Nobu’s initial release earlier this summer, the final release this fall of a limited number of penthouse suites on the uppermost floors of the east tower — the Penthouse Collection — has been highly anticipated. These luxuriously appointed suites will offer 10-foot ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, quartz kitchen countertops and backsplashes, and a Miele appliance package, to mention just a few.

No doubt the Penthouse Collection will have the best views of the city’s skyline, cinematic views of the CN Tower, a broad sweep of Lake Ontario, Toronto Island, and the Financial District.

Other amenities include a yoga studio, spin studio, wet steam, dry sauna, hot tub and cold plunge and a private massage room.

Residents will be able to use private entertaining rooms or “Nobu Villas” as an extension of living spaces, perfectly designed to entertain your guests and relax by a fireplace, with large screen TVs, billiards tables and a beautiful outdoor terrace featuring barbecues. Other amenities include a private screening room, conference room and a private dining area with chef ‘s table.

Inspired living at Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering

Madison Group has created residential communities in highly desirable locations across the GTA, building thousands of quality homes of lasting design and value. Madison will continue the tradition in their newest community in Pickering at Frenchman’s Bay. Located on the southern end of Liverpool Road, steps away from the waterfront, will be a collection of sophisticated, contemporary townhomes and detached singles nestled in a well-established, family-friendly neighbourhood.

The architecture will feature contemporary facades of brick, stone and stucco with details that create a distinctively modern look. Contemporary doors and large windows will add the finishing touches to the streetscape.

Detached two-storey homes of approximately 2,700 square feet with double-car garages will feature four bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and ample room for families to cook, live and relax in style. Townhomes of 1,910 to 2,215 square feet will offer private single-car garages at grade, generous three- or four-bedroom floorplans on three levels, plus a basement. Step out your front door to the revitalized public park with a playground, a basketball court, seating area and a walking trail.

Pickering’s City Hall, Main Central Library and Recreation Complex are just a short drive away offering amenities and enriching programs for the whole family. Located near Highway 401 is Pickering Town Centre, an approximately 1-million-square-foot regional shopping centre with over 200 retailers, restaurants and services. An enclosed convenient pedestrian bridge connects Pickering Town Centre to the Pickering GO Transit station, a major transit hub, with all day train service on the Lakeshore East line, making commuting a breeze.

Frenchman’s Bay offers a superb range of natural, recreational, heritage, arts and cultural attractions for residents and visitors. It is the spectacular natural landscape and abounding recreational opportunities that make Frenchman’s Bay a coastal haven for outdoor enthusiasts. At the southern tip of Liverpool Road, past the cafés, speciality shops and fine restaurants of The Nautical Village is Millennium Square, a public square where open-air concerts are often staged in the summer. You can’t miss Frenchman’s Bay Marina and the significant presence of boaters and sailing activity in the surrounding waters during the summer months. To the southeast is Beachfront Park with its elevated boardwalk and beautiful views across Lake Ontario. Here, you can settle in for a picnic on the beach while the children enjoy the splash pad or playground. If you’re in the mood to exercise or explore, then head into the Waterfront Trail system that encircles Frenchman’s Bay and runs east and west alongside the Lake’s shoreline. Three major trails – perfect for cycling, running or walking – traverse protected wetlands and woodlots, bluffs, beaches and expansive conservation areas.

Don’t miss the opportunity to own and live in a naturally beautiful, inspired village by the bay in a well constructed and attractive home with nearby conveniences to meet the lifestyle demands of modern families. Pre-construction sales will commence summer 2017.
